I start by opening a JAVA of JSP file using the default source editor. As soon as I accept a VNC connection to my
machine the only keys on my keyboard that are working with the editor are:
- a-z
- 0-9
- <space>
- <del>
- `-=[]\;',./
The up/down keys scroll the position of the text up and down within the editor pane but the same keys cannot be used to
move the cursor position up/down.
I can change the position of the cursor with the mouse as well as highlighting and drag/dropping text but right-clicking
does not display the right-click menu.
This problem only affects the file that is in focus at the time on connection. Closing the focused JAVA/JSP file and
then reopening the same file corrects the problem.
In case it matters, if a VNC connection is closed (after correcting the problem) the same problems described above occur.

The VNC client/server thatn I am using is v4.1.3 (free edition) of RealVNC found here: http://www.realvnc.com.

This is most likely a JDK problem or something between JDK/OS/VNC. As this is not a typical user scenario I'm marking it
P4/future. It could be interesting to know what exactly the problem is in regard to other issues that complain about
loosing keyboard functionality in the editor (eg. issue #154292, issue #119617). They never referred to VNC and
typically could not be reproduced, so if this problem is actually reproducible with VNC it may proof useful investigating.
